PREFACE 



A man can never achieve the greatest 
success unless he is placed in an environ- 
ment or, commercially speaking, in a busi- 
ness which corresponds with his spirit and 
temperament. He cannot know the latter 
unless he shall have first made a careful 
study of human nature generally and then 
more specifically as to his own personal char- 
acteristics. 

The musician will seldom violate his art 
by combining the pure, sweet, delicate tones 
of the violin and the coarse, harsh, unhar- 
monizing sounds which are emitted from the 
drum. On the other hand, the violin and 
the soft tones of the piano, when combined, 
are most pleasing to the aesthetic sense. 

Just so with the human being. A keen, 
quick thinker, one of quick action, would 
never be content nor successful on slow 
moving machinery, or retail sales, where 
patience and long drawn out conversations 
are necessary. To be successful he should 
put all his energy into sales of larger quan- 
tities of goods, or by working on quick mov- 
ing machinery, which would be more in ac- 



cord with his lively, vivacious action and 
manner. 

From a thorough study of the individual 
temperament, characteristics and peculiari- 
ties, the vocation for which the subject is 
best fitted can be obtained. 



CHARACTER ANALYSIS 



PHRENOLOGY 

The first question that arises in the mind 
of the reader is, what are the proofs to sup- 
port Phrenology? None are necessary. We 
consider the fundamental principles of 
Phrenology as well settled and demonstrated 
as are the great truths in Chemistry, Geol- 
ogy, and Astronomy. 

In the early centuries brute force often 
held sway, until low craftiness dethroned it, 
while high and noble intellectual combina- 
tions pushed this aside in its turn and still 
man knew not himself; but the time came 
when man, having rendered himself practical 
by discoveries and appliances in other 
sciences, became at length anxious for some 
rational views of the human mind. 

A great many philosophers disclosed scien- 
tific truths which were not recognized, but 
in the year 1 75 7 a native of Suabia, by the 
name of Francois Joseph Gall, was recog- 
nized as the father of Phrenology. At the 
age of nine years he and another boy were 
placed under the tuition of an uncle, and 
while with him, Gall was often reprimanded 
for his inability to compete with his com- 
panion in his studies. Later they were sent 
to school at Bade, where about thirty other 



CHARACTER ANALYSIS 



boys attended. Here he had the same dif- 
ficulty, though there were two who even 
excelled Gall's companion in memorizing. 
Through careful observation, Gall noticed 
that all their eyes were very prominent; so 
prominent that they gave them the nick- 
name of Bull's Eyes. Gall was transferred 
to another school and met with the same dis- 
appointment in competing with other boys 
in verbal recitation. He observed the pro- 
jecting eyes in those who excelled him there, 
also. At a later period he again suffered 
defeat at the college of Strasburgh, by 
youths whose eyes exhibited the same kind 
of prominence. Having observed this 
peculiarity in all his companions who had 
verbal memory, the idea very naturally arose 
to Gall that prominent eyes were an indica- 
tion of good verbal memory — and here was 
the beginning of Phrenology. 

He came to the conclusion that if prom- 
inent eyes meant verbal memory, other 
prominent parts of the head had some mean- 
ing; and from this time on Gall devoted his 
time to the study of the human character. 
Nothing escaped his notice. Dr. Gall, as 
he was now called, gave parties and invited 
all types of people and had them tell of the 
characteristics of their fellow-men. As a 



CHARACTER ANALYSIS 



result he observed that people with a car- 
nivorous instinct and disposition to murder, 
had a more prominent swelling at the base 
of the brain. Broadness of the head at 
this place, was very noticeable in one of his 
companions, who was noted for his cun- 
ningness, deceit and tendency to steal. 

One man whom Dr. Gall was interested 
in was a leader and very prominent in so- 
ciety, and was considered a very truthful 
man; but Dr. Gall noticed the development 
and broadness of the base of the head and 
was a little suspicious. After this man's 
death, Dr. Gall learned that he was deceit- 
ful and had stolen large sums of money. 

Next we learn of Dr. Spurzheim, who was 
born in 1 776 at Longwich, a village near 
Treves, in Germany. He was like Gall, a 
man of genius. He went to Vienna in 1 799 
to study medicine and there became ac- 
quainted with Dr. Gall and from that time 
was associated with him. Dr. Spurzheim 
then took up the study of Phrenology. He 
gave lectures on the subject, which were met 
with criticism; but he did not give up. He 
published "Outlines of Phrenology," and on 
the 25th of January, 1828, in the city of 
Edinburgh, a few believers who had organ- 
ized a Phrenology Society, gave a dinner to 



CHARACTER ANALYSIS 



Dr. Spurzheim, to which a Sir William Ham- 
ilton, who took an active part against Phre- 
nology, was invited. He preferred a war of 
words instead of making a thorough exam- 
ination of its truths. Dr. Spurzheim, after 
an explanation as to its truths, asked permis- 
sion to prove his words by an examination 
of Hamilton's head. The baronet declined 
it as undignified, and Dr. Spurzheim won 
the debate. 

Since that time we have had hundreds of 
philosophers, each giving new thoughts on 
the subject. But the last century people 
have been too busy with their social and 
financial affairs and the study of animals, 
plants and bugs to give a thought to the 
most important subject, in my estimation, 
the "Human Body.** 

People believe to a certain extent, but do 
not admit it. For instance, as soon as a 
man meets another he forms some opinion 
of him — not from the shape of the body 
nor the feet — but from observing the shape 
of the head and facial expressions; which is 
nothing but Phrenology. So it is a known 
fact that by a careful and thorough study of 
the human head and face, we can tell of the 
characteristics and temperament of the per- 
son. 



10 CHARACTER ANALYSIS 

Our judgment of people should be based 
upon a thorough, scientific study of their 
character. We should not form conclusions 
from guesswork. People often form con- 
clusions which are entirely erroneous because 
they are ignorant on the subject. A man is 
often judged by his clothes and environ- 
ment; which is unjust. Some of the greatest 
men in history were brought up in rags and 
the very poorest of environment. So, after 
a thorough, scientific study, a man should be 
able to detect the characteristics of people 
regardless of their environment and clothes. 

Teachers, employment agents, managers, 
fathers and mothers, in my estimation, are 
responsible for the welfare of their pupils, 
employees, and children. 

I do not think a teacher is successful un- 
less he studies his pupils and learns of their 
different characteristics, and handles them 
accordingly. 

From my own experience in teaching 
school, I found one pupil about ten years 
old, who was said to be a menace to the 
neighborhood, and they attached the name 
of "Nick Carter** to him because he was so 
bad. In talking to his mother she informed 
me that if I ever conquered her son I could 



CHARACTER ANALYSIS 1 1 

do better than she, as she had scolded him 
and whipped him, but could not master 
him. The father was away from home most 
of the time, so the mother was raising her 
children to the best of her ability. "Nick" 
even had his playmates trained to obey his 
orders or suffer the consequences. His 
former teacher knew better than to punish 
him, because he would fight back; was usu- 
ally prepared at all times by wearing spurs 
or carrying a knife; anything to give people 
the impression he was a bad, bold man, such 
as he had read about in story books. 

My first day of teaching, the last pupil 
to come in was a bright-eyed little chap with 
a large rimmed hat on his head, a red ban- 
danna around his neck, belt around his 
waist, with a small toy pistol, and spurs on 
his shoes. He walked across the room and 
to my surpise selected the front seat, leaving 
his hat upon his head. Of course every 
pupil knew this was "Nick Carter," and was 
intensely interested to know what was going 
to happen next. At a glance, I noticed 
Nick had a determined look upon his face 
and would be very stubborn if opposed. A 
short time before this I read an article in 
"School Management," which said: "A 
stubborn person is self-conscious and can- 



12 CHARACTER ANALYSIS 

not be driven, but persuaded through kind- 
ness." I thought, "Here is my chance to 
test it out/' I did not look at him or ad- 
dress him personally, but addressed the 
pupils in a general way and said: "I won- 
der if we have enough hat hooks in the hall 
for all the little boys and girls." Naturally 
Nick's curiosity was aroused, and he won- 
dered if the pupils had left a hook for him. 
He went as fast as his little legs could take 
him to the hall and soon appeared again in 
the doorway, but no hat on his head this 
time, and exclaimed: "There is just one 
more hook left, teacher," and I responded 
kindly, "Thank you." He slipped into his 
seat very quietly this time, with a look in his 
eyes as though to say, "You are the only 
one who has ever spoken kindly to me." 

From that time on I never had a better 
pupil than Nick Carter. From observation 
I learned this little fellow was a keen, quick 
thinker, but was so active he would become 
restless if he had to study very long at a 
time. As soon as I noticed this restlessness 
coming upon him, I had him go on an errand 
for me, erase the boards, something to get 
him away from his books for a while. I 
studied all my pupils and tried to remedy 
their failings to the best of my ability. 



CHARACTER ANALYSIS 13 

One of my pupils had an extremely high 
forehead for a child, and the top of his head 
well developed, but the lower part came 
almost to a point. In analyzing him I found 
he was very fond of books and did not want 
to leave them for recess. His mother in- 
formed me that he was always reading at 
home. I began to see his health failing, and 
suggested to his mother that it was best for 
the child not to read of evenings for a while, 
and when recess came I went outside and 
started my pupils playing games and took 
particular pains to see that this little fellow 
took an active part. I saw him brighten up 
again, just as a plant does after a shower. 

I had another pupil just the opposite; 
very low forehead and the lower part of 
the head very well developed. I saw he 
was very active but did not learn very easily 
and that it was hard to induce him to study. 
As most pupils are curious, I tried to arouse 
his curiosity by the study of charts and pic- 
tures first, and then by letting him do actual 
measuring. I discovered that this child was 
good in mathematics but backward in all 
other studies, also that he liked to build 
houses. I had to 3pend more time with this 
child than the others as it is much easier to 
teach a child to play games than to interest 



14 CHARACTER ANALYSIS 

him in his studies. From the study of this 
pupil, I learned that you must let a child 
who is active, know what he is studying 
about, with the use of charts, and why he 
should ; also that he must think well, and 
read about anything until he understands it 
thoroughly before he puts it into action. 
This is the type which usually leave school 
in the 6th or 8th grade, but shculd be urged 
to stick to his studies. Suppose this child 
were to become disabled through an acci- 
dent. Without an education he would be 
totally dependent. 

Of course these are extreme cases. The 
majority of pupils have both their mental 
and active ability equally developed, con- 
sequently they do not work too rapidly and 
therefore do not tire too easily. 

Caution should be taken not to arouse 
jealousy in other pupils. As most of the 
active pupils become restless about the same 
time, I decided upon a plan which would 
apply to all of the pupils generally. When 
I saw this restlessness coming upon them, I 
told them to lie their heads on their desks 
and close their eyes, as this would rest both 
types, the mental and the active. It is sur- 
prising what two or three moments* rest of 
this kind will do for them. This applies to 



CHARACTER ANALYSIS 15 

the Intermediate pupils just out of Kinder- 
garten. The Intermediate pupils, or pupils 
from seven to ten years old, are considered 
the hardest to handle, but in my estimation 
the most interesting, for this is the real be- 
ginning of the child's career and great care 
should be taken that the child is started 
right. 

Employment agents should try and place 
boys and girls in positions corresponding to 
their temperament, and help them to success 
instead of their downfall. Often men have 
been misplaced in factories and offices on 
account of an inefficient manager. I know 
of many cases where this has been done; 
one in particular, where a very efficient 
wealthy business man placed his brother, 
who was very active and was always work- 
ing around machines, in the same office, as 
manager of the office force. In the first 
place he could not handle people, as he 
thought everybody had to be commanded 
to do anything, and as a result he was al- 
ways looking for new help. He hired in- 
efficient bookkeepers, and a cashier who did 
not believe that "Honesty was the best 
policy,'* and the company was gradually 
going under when they both woke up to the 
fact that the brother was a mechanic and 



16 CHARACTER ANALYSIS 

not an office man. 

Everybody is fitted for some kind of work 
but through the inefficiency of managers, 
natural born electricians and mechanics are 
placed in offices, and men placed in factories 
who, with a little help, would make the most 
efficient managers and office men. 

Often fathers and mothers do not study 
their children and are not capable of hand- 
ling them. I think parents are to blame for 
many a wayward child. Some are too easy 
and others too strict with their children, and 
a great many parents are so busy with their 
business and social affairs that they cannot 
give their children any of their time. So 
the child grows up without a guiding hand 
and has to analyze his own character and 
decide upon his own vocation, after the best 
part of his life has been wasted. 

No one is perfect, but a person should 
study his own characteristics and endeavor 
to remedy his shortcomings to the best of 
his ability. 

In the following pages I have given some 
of the characteristics of different types of 
people, and I sincerely hope that these por- 
trayals of human character will be a benefit 



CHARACTER ANALYSIS 17 

to the individual and aid him in his pursuit 
of success and happiness.

Draw a vertical line from the orifice of 
the ear to the upper part of the head. The 
region behind the line is the occipital and 
that in front is the frontal. From the point 
E, the middle of the forehead, draw a hori- 
zontal line to the point of union between 
the parietal and occipital bones thus divid- 
ing the occipital region into two parts, the 
upper called sincipital and the lower the 
basilar region, then draw a line from the 
external angle of the eye, parallel to AB, and 
this will expose the volume in which the fore- 
head is developed. 

In the forehead lie the organs of the in- 
tellectual faculties; those of the perceptive 
powers occupying the space between EC; 
those of the reflective faculties between ED; 
the affective faculties are between DB; the 
ambitious faculties are between BF and this 
portion deserves particular attention on ac- 
count of the influence exerted by the organs 
it includes over the functions of all the 
others; between FG are found the faculties 
of self-esteem and between GI the faculties 
common to man and animals, such as com- 
bativeness and destructiveness. First ex-

He is usually in good health, but inclined 
to be inactive. 

He attracts others and gets them to do 
things for him, and profits by their efforts. 

Wherever you hear the sound of money,

handicap is that he spends it too freely. 

He can handle people successfully, and 
makes friends easily; therefore is usually a 
politician, broker, banker, or is interested in 
the preparation or sale of foodstuffs.

passing horizontally across pupil denotes 
mental ability. 

Unsteady eyes, jerking back and forth, 
show an unsettled mind. 

Wide open staring eyes in weak counte- 
nances indicate jealousy, impudence, bigotry, 
and intolerance. 

Downcast eye shows modesty. 

Eyes with long sharp corners indicate 
great discernment and penetration. 

The white of the eye showing below the 
iris indicates nobility of character. 

Small eyes indicate cunning. 



CHARACTER ANALYSIS 5\ 

NOSE 

The nose is the greatest of the facial fea- 
tures. It plays a very prominent part in the 
speech and vocalization. In analyzing the 
faces of different people a person will notice 
that the nose advances in the ratio of in- 
telligence, and a well developed nose de- 
notes intellect, force, and power. It also 
indicates the health of a person. As we use 
the nose for breathing, a well developed 
nose and nostrils are indicative of good 
lungs. As the nose is used for scenting, a 
well developed nose and nostrils also indi- 
cate that the stomach is in good condition as 
it protects against spoiled foods and nox- 
ious gases. The better the breathing capac- 
ity the better able will be the individual to 
manifest his mental ability. The action of 
the brain is strengthened by the impulse 
given to the volume of blood sent to that 
organ by the deep breathing. 

Energetic movements are controlled by 
the amount of air inhaled. 

There are a great many types of nose, 
but the most common are the straight, 
rounded, broad, long, and pug. 

The straight nose, when well developed 
indicates refinement, good taste, and art 
capacities. If the nose is straight, short and 



52 CHARACTER ANALYSIS 

thick the possessor would be skilled in orna- 
mental work and designing. Many singers 
and composers possess straight noses. A 
straight nose is also indicative of a person 
equally balanced in aggression, defence, and 
inspiration. 

The rounded nose shows the possessor to 
be too aggressive though he is naturally 
logical and talented in debating qualities. 
Possessors of this type of nose are invari- 
ably causing friction, thoughtlessly. Such 
persons are usually considered the most suc- 
cessful as they marry their own type and do 
not mix with other people who have differ- 
ent characteristics. 

The broad flat nose is not a very good 
indication; in the first place the possessor is 
not very strong physically, as the nostrils 
are not large enough to afford deep breath- 
ing, therefore, they do not supply the neces- 
sary oxygen for the system. This kind of 
nose is more like the animal type and the 
possessor is apt to have bestial characteris- 
tics rather than high ideals. 

The long nose is found on a man who is 
usually prying into other people's affairs, al- 
ways giving his ideas and plans unsolicited. 

The pug nose, in my estimation, is the 
most undeveloped and the possessor is very 



CHARACTER ANALYSIS 53 

inquisitive and jealous. The pug nose also 
denotes that the brain of the possessor is 
not evenly developed. He is lacking in rea- 
soning powers and sincerity. The subject's 
uneven mental development is further 
proven by his tendency towards bigotry and 
gossip. 



54 CHARACTER ANALYSIS 



EARS 

The ears are very important and should 
have the best of care. They should not be 
pasted to the side of the head. 

As an elderly person, who is hard of 
hearing, always pushes his ear outward and 
forward to gain results, it shows the ears 
should be out in order to hear well. 

A flushed ear denotes the person is quick 
tempered, irritable, but has good hearing. 

A pale ear denotes poor hearing. 

Large ears are associated with well de- 
veloped heads, and the possessor has execu- 
tive ability, force and determination. Most 
people who possess this type of ears are very 
successful. Bankers and financiers possess 
this type. 

Ears with large cavities denote a keen 
sense of hearing.

CHARACTER ANALYSIS 55 

MOUTH 

The mouth is very important. From the 
shape of the mouth you can usually get an 
idea as to the disposition of the possessor. 

When the dividing line appears to be a 
straight line it is indicative of vocal talent, 
and the possessor should be a very good 
^nguist and conversationalist. This type is 
usually the largest from constant usage. 

If the corners turn up, it indicates that the 
possessor is good natured and has a ten- 
dency to see the good in people instead of 
the evil. 

If the corners turn down, the possessor is 
disagreeable, harsh, and very irritable. 

If one corner turns up and the other down 
it is indicative of an untruthful, scornful per- 
son and the possessor is usually very sus- 
picious. 



56 CHARACTER ANALYSIS 

HAND 

The hand is very important. The old 
method of reading the hand was called 
Palmistry. Later it was given the name of 
Cheirosophy. 

Cheirosophy is divided into two branches; 
Cheirognomy and Cheiromancy. 

Cheirognomy is the science which tells of 
a person's nature and talents from the gen- 
eral outline of the hands. 

Cheiromancy is the science which gives us 
an indication as to the accidents and inci- 
dents of a person's life; it also aids in finding 
methods for the up-building of character. 

The brain has the same effect upon the 
hand as it does upon the face, only it gov- 
erns different characteristics in the hand. 

Some of the finer characteristics can only 
be obtained from the hand. 

From a careful scientific study of the 
hand a person should be able to tell of the 
possibilities of love affairs, financial affairs, 
illnesses, interferences, travels, etc. 



CHARACTER ANALYSIS 57 

HOW TO STUDY THE HAND 

In right-handed persons the left side of 
the brain is the larger and more positive 
side; the right hand is therefore chosen to 
act as the positive hand, the guiding, execu- 
tive hand, and its lines and all signs indicate 
the directive, impulsive, and forceful ele- 
ments of the person's nature. 

The left hand is, then, the negative hand; 
it is receptive and calm and represents the 
heriditary endowments of parents and fam- 
ily history. 

In case the person is left-handed, then the 
left hand is the positive and the right hand 
is the negative. 

The positive hand is the hand of futurity 
by will power and activity; and the nega- 
tive, futurity by hereditary endowment. 

Always study the positive hand.

Psychic Hand 

First let us study the Psychic or pointed 
hand. This type is considered the most 
beautiful, and consequently the most scarce, 
for "rarity is one of the conditions of 
beauty." It is small and slender, fingers 
tapering to a point, and look unfinished. 

The possessor of this hand depends upon 
others too much; he is self-conscious and 
sensitive.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF HANDS 
Murderer's Hand 

The Murderer's hand has a thick heavy 
palm, unusually broad, short, awkward, and 
stiff fingers. The whole hand has a reddish 
tint. The thumb is clumsy. According to 
history, we find this hand on Tropmann, 
who was one of the world's worst murderers, 
who killed a family of seven. Also Avinain, 
the Parisian butcher, who killed and cut to 
pieces several people. 

In talking to a person who possesses this 
type of hand, whenever inclined to confess, 
he will tell you at times, when his temper 
is aroused, his temperature rises; his face 
and head become flushed, and he has such a 
thirst for blood that it almost overcomes his 
power and strength. This is why it is dan- 
gerous for a man with a high temper to 
drink intoxicants as it always causes the 
blood to rush to the head. 

This hand is associated with an unde- 
veloped head, in education, culture and 
morality. The bestial traits are the most 
developed in this type, therefore he does 
not respect the law. 

This type should be given the best of care 
possible, when he is a child, so as to avoid 
crime and sorrow later in life.

Idiot's Hand 

Next we will take the Idiot. His hand 
looks as though it were deformed; the palm 
is quite thick and soft, longer than the fin- 
gers, and narrow. The fingers are shapeless. 

The brain is only half developed in a per- 
son possessing this hand. Great care should 
be taken to keep him interested in some of 
his lacking qualities to strengthen his mind 
as much as possible.

NAILS 

The nails are very important, as you can 
get an idea as to the temperament, also the 
physical condition of the body. 

A short and red nail indicates a violent 
temper. 

Short and square, with a purple tint, indi- 
cates heart trouble; if wider than long, de- 
notes stubbornness. 

Short, brittle and turned back nails 
threatens paralysis. 

A short and narrow nail denotes spinal 
trouble. 

Long and broad nails show very good 
judgment. 

Long, narrow and rounded at both ex- 
tremities denotes selfishness and deceitful- 
ness. 

Spots on the nails show poor circulation.

hand, according to Cheiro, Mt. Venus, 
Jupiter, Saturn, Sun, Mercury, Luna, and 
Plain of Mars. 

Mount Venus

affectionate and has a natural desire for the 
opposite sex.

the first finger and denotes rulership, power,

of the hand under the mounts, and when

than any of the others in the pugilist's hand. 

The name derived from Mars, the Roman 
God of War.

CHART SHOWING MEASUREMENTS 

It is impossible to give a definite chart on 
measurements. From observations, I think 
70 years is the average hand, so I am basing 
my chart accordingly. 

Draw a line from the point where the life 
line starts to the opposite, lower extremity, 
of the hand and then bisect the line as shown 
by the line A and B. 

At this point it will give you approxi- 
mately the center of the hand, which will be 
35 years of age. 

No. 1 is the beginning of each line and 
70 the extremity; therefore % of the line 
would be 1 iy 2 yeras; J / 2 would be 35 years; 
Y^ would be 52^2 years, and so on with 
each line, as they all have the same life as 
the life line.

LINES 

There is a place in the hand for the lines 
just the same as a place for the eyes, nose, 
and mouth on the face. 

Life Line 

The Life Line embraces Mount Venus. 
When it is deep with no breaks, and has a 
reddish tint, it denotes a robust nature. 

Mentality Line 

The Mentality line rises different places, 
usually joins the life line and runs in the 
direction of Mount of Luna. 

When deep, straight, and without breaks, 
denotes an analytical mind. 

Rising from the life line, shows the per- 
son is self-conscious. 

Heart Line 

The Heart line embraces the Mounts 
under the fingers. If it joins the head and 
life line, it indicates that the person is re- 
vengeful. 

Well-balanced persons in their love affairs 
have the line starting between the first and 
second fingers. 



CHARACTER ANALYSIS 81 

If it inclines totward the head line it de- 
notes the person is good hearted; but if the 
head line tends toward the heart line, the 
person is hard-hearted. 

Financial Line 

The Financial line begins close to the 
wrist and runs towards whichever mount 
governs the person's vocation. If towards 
the Mount of Jupiter, it shows the person 
would make a very good leader, as this 
mount denotes leadership. It also shows 
power and activity. 

If towards Mount Saturn it shows success 
will be gained from a commercial stand- 
point 

If towards the Mount of Sun it is not a 
good sign as this is the mount of frivolity, 
and the possessor is apt to gain through the 
folly of others or not in a legitimate way.
